Verilog book for a newbie

Hi all,

just wanted to know what could be a good book to learn Verilog. I have a
spartan3-arm board. It seems to me that there is no single 'bible' on the
subject, so I am not sure which one to pick up.

TIA,

Giuseppe Marullo
 
Kevin,
thanks for your answer. What do you mean by LRM?

I have found this for J. Bhasker:

"A Verilog HDL Primer, Third Edition (Hardcover)"
(January 2005)
a.. ISBN-10: 0965039161
a.. ISBN-13: 978-0965039161
Is it this one?

TIA,

Giuseppe Marullo

There is a bible--the LRM. I refer to the LRM often (the 2005 version)
because it contains a lot of detail which books don't. I would get a
copy. It's not a good teaching manual, though. Unfortunately there are
no great Verilog books that I have seen. The best one I have is by J.
Bhasker. When you get a book, you should probably ignore the vast swaths
dealing with modeling primitives, which the academics love, and which will
probably be useless to you. -Kevin

Parag,
thanks for your answer. I guess the book is "HDL Chip Design - Douglas J.
Smith" , I already saw this one but actually I am not interested in VHDL,
anyway the book seem good (to me at least).

That's the book. I don't recommend it wholeheartedly. It's pretty

good, but it's heavy on modeling and light on synthesis, like just about
every Verilog book. And you are probably much more concerned with
synthesis.

The LRM (IEEE 1364-2005) doesn't cover synthesis either. I mostly use
it when using advanced simulation-only structures.
